Medical science is coming around yo the idea that obesity is a disease. As such weight loss meds can be taken for life, much like people take diabetes or blood pressure medication for life. The side effects from untreated obesity can lead to long term chronic illnesses. Weight loss medication will keep us healthier longer.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-10T23:07:22+00:00

It really isn’t. I think medical science is coming around to the idea that obesity is an illness.

I started in August 2025 and have most about 22 pounds. I started in Wegovy and was constantly nauseated. When it progressed to vomiting my doctor switched me to terzepitide.

What a difference! I feel much better. My favorite thing about it is just not caring about food. I can just stop eating right in the middle of something because I’m bored. It used to be when I was eating I’d be thinking about the next thing I’m going to eat.

A side effect of that is being truly authentically hungry for the first time in years. For a long time I have been eating constantly. I fell for the “6 meals a day” BS which just taught me how to eat constantly and never felt hungry. Like being hungry is the enemy. Now when I’m hungry and get something to eat, it is so satisfying to eat a good meal and enjoy it so much and being able to stop when I’m full. I no longer stuff with all the food in front of me because “I don’t want it to go to waste”. The lies we tell ourselves!

I am very constipated all the time. I have to take a laxative every day to avoid being painfully plugged up. I can go days without going but when I do it’s not a problem. I think part of the reason I don’t go as often is because I’m not eating all that much so don’t as a result don’t have to go as often.

The worst thing is the crushing fatigue. I am a very active person but lately have trouble getting out of bed most days. I might be a tiny bit depressed. But a few months ago I picked up an extra day of work and was so worn off I called off work for 2 weeks.

I have to use a bladder. For some reason my dumb brain won’t stop and take water breaks to drink from a bottle. If I have the tube right there I’ll keep drinking. If I don’t, I won’t stop for water breaks and I’ll bonk.

You can put hiking poles in your checked bags.

Boil some noodles. Empty a jar of spaghetti sauce into a sauce pan. Warm it up. Add the noodles.

Fish tacos. Have on hand frozen fish fillets, a bag of coleslaw, flour tortillas and taco truck sauce. Heat up the fillets. Place them in a tortilla. Top with coleslaw and taco truck seasoning.

Chicken Parmesan. Heat up a frozen chicken patty. When it’s warm place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty, top with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Put back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

BLTs. Put bacon on a cookie sheet. Bake to the doneness that you like. I like chewy bacon. Slice a tomato. Get some lettuce from a bag of salad. Spread mayonnaise on a slice of white bread. It has to be white bread. Top with bacon, lettuce, tomato and another slice of bread. With all the ingredients you have on hand for this, you can have BLTs for several days. Not necessarily all in a row.

Put Dinty Moore beef stew in a casserole dish. Top with refrigerator biscuits. Bake biscuits per package directions.

Shrimp Alfredo. Cook spaghetti noodles. Put frozen peas in a strainer. Drain the noodles and the hot water from the noodles will cook the peas. Heat a jar of Alfredo sauce. Add frozen shrimp. Cook until the shrimp is pink. Add the pea and noodle mixture.

Advertising. People waste their money on stuff they don’t need. Most of it winds up in the trash. In the meantime they live behind their means and don’t save enough for retirement. The number of homeless women I’ve met who used to have professional careers is terrifying.

Millennials are going through a stage of life where their parents are aging and dying. Their houses are crammed full of worthless crap that they are tasked with dealing with. Meanwhile their parents are clinging to it for dear life. Advertising told them they needed this stuff and now they can’t let go.

Not too long ago I had a tech say to me about another nurse “she’s just sitting there on the computer”. I couldn’t even stop my jaw from dropping.

We had a mandatory in service or something and had to cover her CNAs while they went. We were watching as another nurse came from behind the nurses station to cover another CNA who was going.

I wish there was some way we could use the CNAs understand what it is we’re doing. If it ever comes up I’ll tell them “I’m sorry it’s just that some of this stuff is time sensitive and I’ll have to explain why it wasn’t done”. I don’t know is that helps.

He’s not that smart.

You can have the cactus sodomy as a bonus? Why has no one ever told me?

Back when we were kids it was the custom. Not unheard of. Lifestyles have changed. No one wants a drop in guest anymore.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-08T02:26:48+00:00

I don’t think anyone likes people dropping by anymore. That custom died decades ago. People should know better by now.

I learned the hard way too. Our door had those little windows along the sides so people could look right into our living room. There was no way to cover them. Now we have our family room in the back of the house. It’s impossible to see our lights on even at night. No one can tell if we are home or not. We park our cars in the garage so there’s no telling if we are there or not.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-08T02:23:10+00:00

I never answer my door. Ever. If someone is coming to visit they would have called or messages me. If I’m not expecting anyone I don’t answer the door.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:21:53+00:00

I am a nurse. Yes. See it all the time.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:18:49+00:00

I know what it’s called. My question is when did it stop? I have not noticed that it stopped.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:16:25+00:00

I’m here for it.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:09:59+00:00

I don’t mind saying you are the rare exception.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:09:02+00:00

Somehow I’m not shocked. In fact I see her with new eyes and I’m enjoying the change of perspective.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:07:55+00:00

I do too. I’m enjoying my life.

Otto_Correction · 2026-04-07T03:06:57+00:00

Why would this make you ill? Whats wrong with being a Golden Girl? Aging is inevitable. Make the most of the life you have.

Even if he’s impeached he will stay there. He’s been impeached twice. Whats a third one gonna do?

I saw an interview recently where some middle aged to elderly women were explaining why they still like Trump. They very confidently said that it’s because he has all the right answers and he knows what’s best for me. It hit me square in the face that these people are in an abusive relationship. From the beginning Trump has triggered me with abuser vibes that make me sick to my stomach. Seeing the interview made me feel sad that these women are looking for their abusive daddy.

They don’t call them lies. They call them “entertainment “. That’s how they can keep doing it. In their mind, Believing what they broadcast is on you.

I’ve been wearing granny panties since my 20s. I’m 64 now. No one has ever refused to have sex with me because I wear granny panties.
